The plot thickens in the Machine Zone vs. Kabam lawsuit

When Game of War mobile game publisher Machine Zone sued Kabam a couple of weeks ago for allegedly accessing a confidential Machine Zone document, the evidence was based on an argument that took place at a cocktail party. But now, during the course of discovery in the lawsuit, Kabam has disclosed an email that Machine Zone says supports its case. On top of that, the declaration of a Kabam employee appears to shed some light on some financial details that Machine Zone wants to keep private.

The newly disclosed email from Kabam corporate development director Daniel Wiggins is the latest in what Kabam belittles as an episode of HBO’s farce, the Silicon Valley TV show. But if this email is an indicator of what is to come in the case, the whole thing could turn out to provide a rare look inside the corporate walls at two of Silicon Valley’s largest mobile game companies.
